Is shorter faster? The geometry and aerodynamics of crank length in cycling

This paper investigates how crank length affects cycling performance by linking rider anatomy, hip kinematics, and aerodynamics, showing shorter cranks improve aerodynamics with minimal mechanical cost.

The Trade-Off Between Torque and Power with Speed: A Study of Shoulder Performance During an Isokinetic and Multiplanar Task

This study examines shoulder torque and power trade-offs during isokinetic and multiplanar tasks, finding that torque decreases while power increases with angular velocity, independent of torso conditions.
